This is an attempt to map ancestral (parent, grandparent) and international (born abroad and dual citizenship) connections at the 2014 World Cup. Of all 32 teams, each team has at least one connection to another country with the exception of Ecuador, Honduras and South Korea.

Connections are calculated by each player with a connection to another country — and the total number of countries they are connected too.

Most connected team:Switzerland

The Swiss team is the most connected team with a total of 21 connections.

15 Swiss players have connections to 13 different countries.

Most connected player:Adnan Januzaj

Belgium's Adnan Januzaj was born in Belgium but is also eligible to play for Albania, Serbia and Kosovo through his parents. He is also eligible to play for Turkey through his grandparents.
